bootinfo block in register r8. In locore.s we save the address
in the global variable 'pa_bootinfo'. In machdep.c we compare
this value against the hardwired address, but don't depend on its
validity yet (ie: we still expect the bootinfo block to be at the
hardwired address). After a small amount of time, we'll flip the
switch and depend on the loader to pass us the address. From that
moment on the loader is free to put it anywhere it likes, provided
the machine itself likes it as well.
Add some verbosity to aid in the transition. We emit a message if
the loader didn't pass the address and we also emit a message if
there's no bootinfo block at the hardwired address.
While in locore.s, reduce the number of redundant serialization
instructions. A srlz.i is a proper superset of a srlz.d and thus
is a valid replacement. Also slightly reorder the movl instructions
to improve bundle density.

checking the astpening flag and returning to usermode.

with this flag. Remove the dup_list and dup_ok code from subr_witness. Now
we just check for the flag instead of doing string compares.
Also, switch the process lock, process group lock, and uma per cpu locks over
to this interface. The original mechanism did not work well for uma because
per cpu lock names are unique to each zone.

disablement assumptions in kern_fork.c by adding another API call,
cpu_critical_fork_exit(). Cleanup the td_savecrit field by moving it
from MI to MD. Temporarily move cpu_critical*() from <arch>/include/cpufunc.h
to <arch>/<arch>/critical.c (stage-2 will clean this up).
Implement interrupt deferral for i386 that allows interrupts to remain
enabled inside critical sections. This also fixes an IPI interlock bug,
and requires uses of icu_lock to be enclosed in a true interrupt disablement.
This is the stage-1 commit. Stage-2 will occur after stage-1 has stabilized,
and will move cpu_critical*() into its own header file(s) + other things.
This commit may break non-i386 architectures in trivial ways. This should
be temporary.

Instead of caching the ucred reference, just go ahead and eat the
decerement and increment of the refcount. Now that Giant is pushed down
into crfree(), we no longer have to get Giant in the common case. In the
case when we are actually free'ing the ucred, we would normally free it on
the next kernel entry, so the cost there is not new, just in a different
place. This also removse td_cache_ucred from struct thread. This is
still only done #ifdef DIAGNOSTIC.

segments with several 8K or so fragments depending on nvram settings and
what I have done under loader(8) before booting. This needs to be
revisited.

by 43 bits.

* For SMP, drop the high-fp state when a thread is switched away from
so that if another cpu resumes that thread, it doesn't have to play
games with IPI to get ahold of the correct register values.
* Don't call ast() from interrupt() - if we switch, then we will miss
writing cr.eoi which will prevent the current cpu from receiving
interrupts until the current thread is resumed. The call to ast()
happens magically in exception_restore where it is safe.
* Add DDB 'show irq' command to examine interrupt hardware state.
* Use ptc.g instead of ptc.l so that TLB shootdowns are broadcast to the
coherence domain.
* Use smp_rendezvous for pmap_invalidate_all to ensure it happens on all
cpus.
* Dike out a DIAGNOSTIC printf which didn't compile.
* Protect the internals of pmap_install with cpu_critical_enter/exit.
